Cyclist Palsy

The most effective way to manage Cyclist’s palsy is to take steps to prevent its occurrence. All riders going for a long bicycle ride should wear adequately padded cycling gloves. The placement of the shock absorbing DoctorGel™ pads is optimised to reduce the risk of nerve compression. DoctorGel™ technology is dedicated to keeping cyclists, independent of performance level, comfortable on the ride.

Tips to avoid hand numbness and tingling when biking:

Change the position of your hands frequently

Ensure your saddle and handlebars are adjusted correctly so that you are not holding your weight on your hands

One ingenious feature of these gloves are the small magnets located in the tabs. When you have finished with them, store them together thanks to these magnets so they don't get separated in your drawer, locker or cupboard. Such a clever idea and no more hunt the glove before every ride.

DoctorGel Protection

The DoctorGel™ system has been developed in collaboration with both active athletes and doctors. GripGrab gloves with DoctorGel™ are designed to reduce the feeling of pins and needles in the fingers secondary to compression of the nerves innervating the hand.

The symptoms can present as light tingling in the fingers but can progress to more severe numbness and paresthesias. The condition is described in the literature as “Cyclist’s palsy” and the problem arises when a nerve to the hand is compressed between the handlebars and the underlying bone.

Both mountain bike and road bike riders, regardless of level of experience, may suffer temporarily from nerve compression. A prospective clinical study has shown that 70% of long-distance riders experience symptoms related to nerve compression. Doctor Gel has been developed specifically to help combat this nerve compression when riding.

Magazine reviews for GripGrab SuperGel Short Finger Gloves

Review from
Cycling Weekly

Mitts are mitts, you might say, but what sets these GripGrab SuperGel short finger gloves apart from others is the Doctor Gel pad in the palms. This 6mm comfort feature really came into its own when these gloves were teamed with double-layer bar tape and used to tackle the cobbles of Northern France...After more than 50km of cobbles, the rough road surface of the Hell of the North had caused aching bones, but a consolation was that my hands were fine...The gloves are well fitted and made to a high standard. They feature a pull-off system of small straps between the fingers...A final little touch that shows the brand's attention to detail is the inclusion of small magnets in the wrists which keep the gloves together when they're not being worn...

In conclusion...

A well fitting pair of gloves with a key comfort feature in the palms. A great choice of mitts for almost any rider
